The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A rotation speed regulating mechanism for pneumatic tools, comprising:
an air intake member which includes a hollow element, an air outlet end extended axially from one end, an air inlet end extended axially from another end thereof, an air regulation port and an air inlet, the air outlet end and the air inlet end being not communicating with each other from distal ends thereof, the air regulation port and the air inlet being formed radially to communicate with the air inlet end and the air outlet end, the air intake member further having an external screw thread on the periphery thereof;
an airflow knob having an annular sleeve which has an internal screw thread to couple with the external screw thread of the air intake member to move the annular sleeve relative to the air intake member for adjusting covering range of the air regulation port and regulating airflow passing through the air regulation port to regulate rotation speed in a stepless fashion; and
